Linux is among the most popular OSs for servers. There are quite a few different distributions using the same core, but the majority have several things in common - they are 100 % free to use, which decreases the overall cost of the web hosting service because license fees won't be included in what you'll have to pay; they're quite simple to take care of; and last, but not least, they're way more secure in comparison with competitor Operating Systems, since random files, particularly virus-infected ones, just can't be executed on the web server. This way, you are able to enjoy a secure service and spend the time building and promoting your web sites, not being concerned about basic safety problems. Many Linux-based machines use the Apache web server to handle the HTTP traffic, since this software is really fast and is also easy to maintain and customize depending on the requirements of the hosting provider. A Linux web server with Apache is the perfect software environment for your Internet sites and it's not a coincidence that a number of popular script-driven applications out there require LAMP, that symbolizes Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
